19-year-old backpage pimp beats woman pregnant with his child

Javed M. Mobin

Burnsville man accused of prostituting woman pregnant with his child:

That outstanding citizen over there is 19-year-old Javed M. Mobin of Burnsville, Minnesota. Don’t let the age fool you as he’s being accused of a lot of very bad things.

Not only is he accused of forcing a woman to work for him as a prostitute on the Village Voice Media owned backpage.com he’s also accused of beating and choking her and threatening her with further violence if she didn’t continue working for him. The victim claims that she had been forced to work for him since July of 2011. Did I also mention that she’s seven months pregnant with his baby?

So let’s put this into perspective. A 19-year-old kid is forcing a woman to have sex with strangers, he is allegedly repeatedly physically assaulting her while she is pregnant with his baby. It doesn’t get much more disgusting than that.

Oh wait, yes it does. Village Voice Media is making money off of this woman’s suffering and claiming it’s a free speech issue. Yeah, that’s as disgusting as it gets.

October 7, 2011 in Backpage, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

Prosecutors: Violent Pimp Coerced Woman Into Prostitution On Backpage:

This time the alleged trafficking sucm is 22-year-old Allen Almarco Winston. No wonder these guys take street names. What the hell kind of name is Almarco? Anyway Winston is accused of pimping out his on again off again girlfriend on the Village Voice Media owned backpage.com. Of course police say that he physically assaulted her in order to get her to do so, And guess what kids. He’s already back out on the streets.

How much you want to bet that he’s probably already turned out someone else.

But hey, according to VVM this is their way of protecting The Constitution.

Another SeaTac backpage pimp busted

October 7, 2011 in Backpage, Prostitution/Human Trafficking by Trench Reynolds | No comments

KC Prosecutors: Using Backpage.com, Pimp Forced Woman Into Prostitution:

Today’s contestant on SeaTac backpage pimp round-up is 23-year-old Lavelle Kenneth Johnson. He was arrested for allegedly forcing a woman into backpage prostitution by beating her and possibly raping her repeatedly. When Johnson was stopped by police in King County he had several different cell phones with one that was on the backpage.com log in screen.

But it’s all about backpage’s right to free speech right? Nevermind that they’re making their money from traffickers and rapists who are nothing more than modern-day slave traders. It’s all about backpage right?

South Florida backpage escorts beaten, robbed and raped

June 5, 2011 in Backpage, Predators, Prostitution/Human Trafficking, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | 1 comment

Tipped by online ads, robbers terrorize escorts in SoFla hotels:

In Broward County, Florida there have been a series of robberies and assaults of women who advertise as ‘escorts’ on the Village Voice Media owned backppage.com. It at least one incident a victim was raped by two men.

Some of the suspects have been arrested…

Arrested in May and charged in the Broward robbery spree were: Eutil Couch, 29, of Sunrise; Brandon Lamichael Medina, 23, of Hollywood; Keonta Murray, 26, of Port St. Lucie; and Henry Ronald Mitchell, 24, and Jonathan H. Williams, 23, both of Fort Lauderdale.

What I really want to talk about is Village Voice Media’s response, or lack thereof…

An executive at Village Voice Media, Backpage.com’s owner, referred questions to legal counsel Steve Suskin. He could not be reached for comment, despite emails and a phone message left at his office.

Legal counsel? That sounds like VVM is circling the wagons. At least when craigslist refused to comment to the media the refusal came from Jimmy or Craig themselves.

The Sun Sentinel article also turned up a little quote that I was unaware of about backpage from VVM themselves…

Village Voice wrote in a Sept. 19 blog entry that it cooperates with authorities and has safeguards to ensure only adults use the site.

It argued that people can legally post directly onto websites like Backpage.com “without pre-screening or censorship,” according to the blog entry. “The responsibility, under the law, rests with the person supplying the post.”

For one, obviously the ‘safeguards’ don’t work because I’ve documented on this site numerous times of children being peddled. secondly saying that the responsibility lies with the person making the post is just VVM’s way of saying that they don’t care what happens through their site just as long as they keep making money.

Craigslist robbery in Milton, Mass.

July 28, 2010 in Craigslist, Robbery by Trench Reynolds | No comments

3 robbed in Milton after responding to Craigslist ad:

3 men from Rhode Island were robbed at gunpoint after responding to a craigslist ad from Milton, Mass. for a TV. The address they were sent to was a vacant apartment. One of the victims went inside alone where he was held at gun point by two men. The suspects then went and got the other two victims out of the car. All the victims were robbed of their cash and belongings and one was even beaten. The two suspects are still at large.

Considering one of the victims went into the apartment by himself leads me to believe that he thought doing business on craigslist is a safe experience when obviously it isn’t. As I’ve said before craigslist is the online hive of scum and villainy and you’d be surprised how many people are unaware of this.

Reader tells of scary craigslist rental scam experience

July 28, 2010 in Craigslist, Real Estate by Trench Reynolds | 1 comment

I had an e-mail conversation today with a reader who had a very harrowing experience while trying to rent an apartment from a landlord that advertised on craigslist.

Her first e-mail to me said that the landlord had been arrested and was advertising again on craigslist and was there somewhere that this could be reported? My Reply was that you can try to flag the ad but that won’t guarantee that anything will be done about it. Or you could post an ad of your own telling of your experience with this landlord but that could get your ad flagged and removed. So basically I told her that her only real recourse was to notify law enforcement as craigslist will more than likely do nothing about it.

Out of curiosity I asked why the landlord was arrested and she told me that in a nutshell the landlord provided no written agreement and constantly went back on their verbal agreement. When the tenant demanded her money back a scuffle ensued and the landlord ended up assaulting the tenant.

She now regrets using craigslist to rent and even went as far as to tell me that if you are going to rent anyplace to do a background check on your prospective landlord.

We don’t have to put up with this. Boycott Craigslist. Try Geebo.com for a socially responsible alternative to community classifieds.
